On intellectual property

Game exclusives have become a hot topic lately because of Epic Games and it lead me to ponder a bit about intellectual property. Do you support or oppose it, anons? What's your reasoning for doing so?

Trademarks and copyrights should learn to fucking share without hindering each other.

Rayman wasn't bad.

I don't agree with any copyrights. A company should be tasked with protecting its trade secrets without help from the state OR all intellectual property should belong to the state and be leased out to private/nationalized companies

Ubisoft is canadian taxpayer funded globalist propaganda. They even start their games with " this game was developed by a bunch of niggers and faggots"

Having exclusives you funded is no problem since the game wouldn't exist without your money. But buying exclusivity right on game you didn't fund is an asshole move since it limits its exposure and the audience it can reach.

>Do you support or oppose it
I support intellectual property so long as the owner is making goods/services with it. At some point in time if it is apparent they are sitting idle, anyone should be able to re-create.

I don't think that EA should start using Nintendo characters in everything, thus damaging Nintendo's brand
I also don't think that fan projects should get C&D'd into oblivion
I do think that creators should be the primary beneficiary of their creations
Basically I think IP laws should be limited to high-level affairs and no-money plebs should get a carte blanche. When profit starts appearing, then the creator should get a cut

I think after a decade shit is fair game. They got their piece, now let creativity continue.

Could you imagine that?
All the low-quality shitty knock-offs of Mario games that no-name no-skill companies would have made to try and cash in on Mario's popularity?
All the bootleg t-shirts and shit
Well, basically you just have to look at China
10 years of just sitting on it though? I could agree with that more.

You mean what we have right now? Only instead of competition increasing quality and lowering costs we have a monopoly fucking it over?

Modern games are cancer. Go retro.

hog wash

I loved the heck out of that version of Prince of Persia. PoP revelations was the bomb too.

who cares, all new videogames are hot steaming shit

I don't really like it.

A good IP or copyright law to me would be something like:
You are allowed to copy a product, but something like 10% of whatever you earn goes to the original creator.

Though I haven't thought on this deeply.

>he doesn't pirate pc games like a sane person would.
I've got enough shit to pay for every week, I spend $15 on a seedbox every month and I download all my entertainment via ftp

Ubishit ruined my favorite franchise of all time, Heroes of Might and Magic. I hope all those affirmative action diversity hires go bankrupt and some small white-only game dev company will pick it up.

oppose it, but i still believe they have and should have the right to do so.
consumers are supposed to vote with their wallets.
also don't install the epic game store it is a Chinese spyware.

>DOOM 2016
also modern indie games are really fun

The original framers had the right of it: seventeen years of exclusivity to creative intellectual property. Disney and the Jews in hollywood fucked it up with their constant expansion to where it is now (70 years, plus extensions). It should not be eminently transferrable.
